A hit-and-run accident has left a young woman with life-changing injuries. She hopes someone will come forward to help her find the driver who fled the scene.

Kristina Stoltz, 24, was turning into the McDonald's at Northwest 122nd and Pennsylvania Avenue to get some ice cream when a Jeep slammed into the back of her car.

“My driver’s seat actually broke through the bottom of my car,” she said.

The accident happened on March 23 around 10:30 p.m. Her car was hit from behind at 65 miles per hour. Then the driver of a black Jeep Liberty threw his car in reverse ramming the car once more before speeding away.

The bumper and the grill of the Jeep fell off and were left at the scene. The rest of the SUV and its driver have never been found.

Stoltz was left with more than $100,000 in medical bills. Doctors tell her she will never fully recover.

“He said I will have to deal with the pain for the rest of my life. I have six bulging discs now and arthritis all down my spine. I’ve been actually getting epidurals in my spine every two weeks,” Stoltz said.

Police said they have exhausted all leads.

Stoltz hopes someone will come forward with information about the crash and bring the driver who changed her life forever to justice.

Oklahoma City police said they investigate about 300 hit-and-run accidents every year.
